Right wing governments sell themselves as advocates of fiscal orthodoxy and prudence, when actually they are creatures of violent hatred and resentment that overwhelm every decent impulse they might have...and we keep VOTING for them. Why? I suggest it's the hatred and not the professed prudence.

A place to start this project of "saving Britain" might be to note that nowhere does the article mention Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland. And it only actually mentions one place outside England by name. (New York, btw) None so blind as those will ot see www.theguardian.com/news/ng-inte...

Great argument. Dems “aren’t sufficiently harnessing public anger over AI data centers to argue for a clean-energy future…aren’t stamping themselves as the only party that wants AI’s gains broadly shared in a truly egalitarian way…and aren’t talking enough about Donald Trump’s role in all of it.”
